What are FODMAPs?
FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. These are poorly absorbed, highly fermentable carbohydrates that can contribute to gas, bloating, and diarrhea due to their fermentability and attraction of water in the intestinal tract.
FDA Gluten Free Labeling of Foods
Gluten-Free Labeling of Foods
An estimated 3 million people in the United States have celiac disease. In people with celiac disease, foods that contain gluten trigger production of antibodies that attack and damage the lining of the small intestine. Such damage limits the ability of people with celiac disease to absorb nutrients and puts them at risk of other very serious health problems, including nutritional deficiencies, osteoporosis, slow growth, infertility, miscarriages, and intestinal cancers.
On August 2, 2013, FDA issued a final rule defining “gluten-free” for food labeling, which is helping consumers, especially those living with celiac disease, be confident that items labeled “gluten-free” meet a defined standard for gluten content. “Gluten-free” is a voluntary claim that can be used by food manufacturers on food labels if they meet all the requirements of the regulations.
On August 12, 2020, the FDA issued a final rule on the gluten-free labeling of fermented or hydrolyzed foods. It covers foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles, cheese, green olives, FDA-regulated beers and wines (e.g., generally those with less than 7 percent alcohol), and hydrolyzed plant proteins used to improve flavor or texture in processed foods such as soups, sauces, and seasonings. The rule does not change the definition of “gluten-free” but establishes compliance requirements for these hydrolyzed and fermented foods. It also includes a discussion of how FDA will verify compliance for distilled foods such as vinegar.

Cheesy Taco Sticks
These super simple Cheesy Taco Sticks are buttery breadsticks filled with taco meat and lots of cheese! The kids will love them!
INGREDIENTS
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or homemade taco seasoning)
• 1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
• 5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with non-stick spray and set aside.
3. Cook the ground beef in a skillet, breaking up with a wooden spoon until fully browned and crumbled. Drain any fat and return skillet to stove top. Mix in the taco seasoning packet (but no water), and stir until fully coated. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.*
4. Spread the pizza dough out until it’s flat and cut in half lengthwise and then 4 cuts up and down, creating a total of 10 small rectangles. Place about a tablespoon or more of the taco meat in the center of each pizza dough, top with a halved cheese stick and then carefully roll up the pizza stick, making sure to pinch all seams closed.
5. Combine the melted butter, garlic powder and parsley in a small bowl and brush it on the tops of the cheesy taco sticks. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve hot with your favorite taco toppings!
NOTES
*You can use leftover taco meat in this recipe. But if you do make the full 1 lb. of ground beef, you will have lots of leftover taco meat, so you can freeze it and save for later use!

Gluten Free Cream of Soup Recipes
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon (14 g) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon (14 g) extra-virgin olive oil
DIRECTIONS
- For the cream of mushroom soup, in a medium-size saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms, and cook until the shallots are translucent and the mushrooms are fork tender (about 4 minutes). Transfer the mushrooms and shallots to a small bowl, and set it aside. To the same medium-size saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the flour blend, salt and pepper, and stir to combine well. The mixture will clump at first, and then smooth. This is the roux that will thicken the soup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has just begun to turn a very light brown color. Add the stock to the roux very slowly, stirring constantly to break up any lumps that might form. Add the evaporated milk, and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about one-quarter (about 7 minutes). Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the mushrooms and shallots. Stir to combine.
- For the cream of chicken soup, in a medium-size saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, and cook until translucent (about 4 minutes). Transfer the shallots to a small bowl, and set aside. To the same medium-size saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the flour blend, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning, and stir to combine well. The mixture will clump at first, and then smooth. This is the roux that will thicken the soup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has just begun to turn a very light brown color. Add the stock to the roux very slowly, stirring constantly to break up any lumps that might form. Add the evaporated milk, and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about one-quarter (about 7 minutes). Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the cooked chicken. Stir to combine.

Add the stock to the roux very slowly, stirring constantly to break up any lumps that might form. Add the evaporated milk, and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth. Add the diced potatoes , stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
